This Yamaha Motobike is missing most of the original equipment but the important components like the shocks are the "Real Thing".
A "C" Model, Yamaha Motobike.
The Motobike came in 3 models. An "A",
"B" and "C". You can tell them apart by their serial numbers.
The first 20,000 were "A" Models with a
solo seat, 3 piece cranks and a metal rear fender.
The "B" Model has a banana seat and is the
next 20,000.
The "C" Model has a one piece crank, plastic
fender and the serial numbers are above
about 45,000.
Unlike some of the Motobike copies, the real deal never had front fenders, gas tanks or side plates.
The photo on the right shows a Motobike with MotoMags and it's rider catching big air, not bad for a +30 lb. bike!
Thanks to Scott Myers for help in ID'ing the Motobike.
